It took less then a few second before the timid spirit appeared. Conscious of all those around, Twila bowed slightly to her mistress. "What is your bidding, Mistress?" She inquired very quietly. Whatever it was, she hoped that they would get on with it. There was way to many people around. Her claws extended. No doubt her mistress wanted her to fight. That would make it easier. She would be to busy to be uncomfortable. From the corner of her eye she spotted the boar and the Pisces. Three spirits. Plus at least two other wizards. This battle was not going to end well. But then again, she would do her best. She had been in worse situations, though losing was always painful.

Maria ignored the spirit for a moment and nodded to Flynn and Trex. She knew her spirit hated crowds and not being able to do anything would make it worse. Enforcing who was in charge was vital to celestial/spirit relationships. Or so she had been told. Besides, she just loved to see others sweat. "There, as you can see, [i]my[/i] spirit is no longer in the girl's head. She should be waking up momentarily."

"And if you had her keep her in a slumber just so you could get away." Trex asked, eyes narrowing.

Maria sighed. "Tell them, Twila. And make sure you tell them the truth."

The blue haired spirit turned and faced the enemy wizards. She made no eye contact, and avoided looking at the celestial wizards altogether. "She can wake up anytime." She informed them quietly.

"They can't hear you mumble." Maria said enjoying herself.

Forcing her chin up, Twila stared at the town behind them. "She can wake up anytime." She said, louder. She glanced at Maria. Could she go? Where they going to fight?

Maria glanced at Trex. "Satisfied?" 

Looking the spirit over, Trex glanced at Flynn. He was knew more about spirits. Could a spirit lie? At Flynn's nod that she was telling the truth, Trex looked back at Maria and Narsica. "Get out of here." He ordered. "Try this trick again and you won't find us so forgiving." 

Maria forced a smile. Holding up the key she paused. Partially to show she wasn't raffled, or pretend to anyway, and partially because it meant Twila got even more nervous. "Close Gate of the Indigo." She ordered. With a flash Twila was gone. Maria looked at the them. "There. We've held our end of the bargain. Can we go?"

Trex nodded for Chris and Amber to move aside, which they did. Giving one more forced smile, Maria kept a close eye on them as she and Narsica moved away.

Skye nodded. "Yes. They went to go find whoever was behind this. Flynn said Orian could trace the spirit back to his or her key." She shrugged. "Apparently it worked." 

She frowned at how pale Zelia looked. She looked as if she had been up all night instead of sleeping. "The others are fine." She replied. "Amber and Chris from the Pegasus guild went with them." She sat at the edge of the bed. "Don't worry." She bit her lip. It was silly really. She shouldn't have been so concerned. She would have thought growing up on Caelum, especially those last few years, would have eliminated all of that. But no. She was actually beginning to grow attached to her team.

She pushed the thoughts away. "Did the spirit torment you?" She asked quietly.
